| // 3. This notice may not be removed or altered from any source distribution. | |

| // | |
| // USAGE: To hide the string you just have to surround it with a macro like this: | |
| // | |
| // NSString *secret = LOO_CRYPT_STR_N("A7LZ14F88Y", 10); | |
| // | |
| // Remember to use C-sting, because NSString literals cannot be processed in compile time. | |
| // | |
| // IMPORTANT: Works with -Os (Fastest, Smallest) optimization level. | |
| // __str - C-string. | |
| // __n - Number of characters in string (without trailing \0 character). | |
| #define LOO_CRYPT_STR_N(__str, __n) LOODecrypStrN((const unsigned char []){ LOO_ENCRYPT_STR_TO_CHAR_##__n(__str) }, __n + 1) | |
| // This is not very good encryption macro. You should change it for something stronger probably. | |
| #define LOO_ENCRYPT_STR_CHAR_AT(__str, __i) ((unsigned char)(__str[__i]) ^ 0xFF) | |
| // This must match LOO_ENCRYPT_STR_CHAR_AT. | |

Hello, I am looking for a way to make sure that my clients are only communicating to my server through my macOS app. My idea is to use the code above to hide a large string and then
POSTthis to my server over https which also knows this large string. Is this a good way to do this or is it likely that the output ofLOODecrypStrNwill be accessible when passed to anNSDictionaryat upload or another time?
